Area of Science:

  • Veterinary diagnostics
  • Equine medicine
  • Point-of-care testing technology

Background:

  • Point-of-care testing (POCT) involves portable diagnostic tools for immediate patient-side use.
  • Advances in diagnostic technology have expanded the availability of POCT assays for equine practitioners.
  • POCT provides rapid results, aiding in timely diagnosis and targeted patient care for horses.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review and discuss the range of commercially available point-of-care testing (POCT) assays for equine practitioners.
  • To highlight the benefits of POCT in equine practice, including faster results and improved clinical decision-making.

Main Methods:

  • Review of commercially available equine point-of-care testing devices and assays.
  • Discussion of the types of analytes measurable by current equine POCT technologies.

Main Results:

  • A growing number of POCT assays are accessible for equine veterinary diagnostics.
  • POCT devices, often handheld, can perform qualitative or quantitative analysis of various analytes.
  • Current equine POCT includes critical care analyzers, with recent expansions into hematology and immunology.

Conclusions:

  • Point-of-care testing (POCT) enhances equine diagnostics by providing rapid, actionable results.
  • The increasing availability and sophistication of equine POCT contribute to improved clinical outcomes and patient management.
  • Equine practitioners can leverage POCT for more efficient and effective diagnosis and treatment strategies.
